Hi Jon,

Sorry to come in on this late but my lappie was down last week. Have you
checked the following:
-Application Pool recycling -it will destroy all sessions when it recycles,
check it's not on a loop i.e. 20mins
-You've not got any virus scanning software on the server that could be
"checking" the web.config as that can sometimes cause IIS to restart the
application
-Turn off application debugging as sometimes that can cause an issue

I would also check the machine.config file to check any values within that
(it's where the defaults are set), I wouldn't change them here myself but
it's worth narrowing down where this value is set.

Are you also getting the timeout issue? Can you replicate it? Check whether
it's in a specific place and check the code there (i.e. on the logout page
-sounds daft but I have had a client why when they went to /logout.aspx they
were logged out...).

Also, what are you using for membership/logins? The built in membership
provider?

Let me know how you get on.

Tim
